EDITORS COMMENTS
Victory at Sea: The Town Cup of the Royal Victoria Yacht Club (1865) This exquisite print captures a momentous occasion in the history of sailing - the presentation of The Town Cup to the winner of the prestigious regatta held by the Royal Victoria Yacht Club in 1865. Crafted from embossed silver, this magnificent vase stands on a pedestal adorned with intricate details, including a yachtsman leaning on his rudder and a yacht in full sail displayed above. The cup's weighty presence is palpable at 40 oz., underscoring the significance of this trophy awarded to the champion sailors. The silversmith Mr. Barnard of Ryde deserves special recognition for creating such an ornate masterpiece, which has been immortalized on paper by a talented unknown artist. This rare and historic print, featured in the Illustrated London News (1865), offers a glimpse into the world of 19th-century yachting culture, where skillful sailors vied for top honors. The Town Cup remains an iconic symbol of excellence at sea, its beauty and craftsmanship continuing to captivate us today.
